But does autoconf-2.54 work with automake-1.5.whatever? Automake-1.7 will be done as a repocopy into an automake-devel port. This simply expands upon some changes to bsd.port.mk that I have already got pipelined. Automake-2.54 will probably be done soon, as an upgrade. But I expect it will go through a period of testing on the 4-exp builds before it is ready to go live, and I've got to get my bsd.port.mk changes verifited and committed at the same time. So, don't expect this to happen overnight, or in a week. Gorgive me, but I'll most likely leave the PRs open but basically ignore them and do this myself... esp automake 1.7. I' will close them in tandem with the relevant commits, whenever they should happen. Frankly, I think bsd.port.mk should be verified and commited first (and it's a big change, completely rewriting the AUTO* sutff. Ports which use sick hacks will probably break. That's their problem, AFAIAC, but that's why any and all of this has to gh though an extended testing cycle first. Thanks for the suggestions and PRs, but this has been planned ever since I took over these ports from Ade when he quit. -- Alan Eldridge Unix/C(++) IT Pro, 20 yrs, seeking new employment.
